Biggest tires, no lift?

[zusmc]

New member here....Just got my new white XL Ranger Super Crew . I sorta wanted the old school look with steel wheels and found one I liked . What would be a good size tire to put on that’s a little taller and possibly a tad narrower? I like the BF Goodrich T/A KO and have had good luck with those in the past. The tires are 255/70/16 on the wheels now , what would work ?

If you’re willing to upgrade to a 17”, my calculations show a 255/70r17 is .5” larger diameter than the factory size. It’s what I’m going to spec out to replace my 18” wheel/tire package as I’m going to a 17” wheel now

Yeah, problem is I wanna keep my steel wheels.

I also went with the 265/70R17 but I chose the BFGs.

Those are the tires i a, thinking of getting also, how do they sound on the road?

For an aggressive tread they are pretty quiet. I have had them on several past trucks, and always had good results.

Anyone have a pic of 255/75 17 mounted? That size sounds like it might be the ticket. Id like to see a pic.

@Maltese has 255/80/17 here. That’s pretty close:

I'll know this week, I get them installed on Thursday. Taller which is partially offset by slightly narrower, load range C....should be the ticket.

Got the BFG AT's on, 255/75R17 (32" x 10"). Tight, but no rubbing.

Full lock and no rubbing? That is awesome, I did not know we could fit those!

Yup, I'm betting it will hit if turned and the suspension cycles / compresses, so I'm not 100% final on this setup, but with some high clearance crash bars or a very slight 1" lift up front, I think it will be A-ok. But it works as is with no rubbing.

Looks great!

Yeah, more photos and discussion are in the master tire thread. I'm trying to to dupe my posts too much

Anybody tried or know of anyone running anything bigger than 33’s (i.e. 285/75/17) with the offset intrusion bars like those by Fabtech or Pro Comp?

Perhaps, with a level or =< 3” lift?
